Nightmares
by lyra_lover777

Sequel to "Disparity"






Twilight was curled up next to Nightmare in a darkly painted carriage that was being pulled by a team of five stallions. Nighty looked down at her lover, smiling slowly as she stroked Twilight's mane. They were headed to Ponyville to meet up with Twilight's old friends before the wedding of Disparity, aka the wedding of Discord, Spike, and Rarity.

As Nighty smiled, looking down at her lovely wife. She had no clue what was raging inside of Twilight's head.

Twilight was laying next to Nighty, snoring softly, a small smile plastered to her lips. Nighty was nuzzling her softly, planting quick kisses along her neck and cheeks.

Suddenly a whistle was heard outside, and the whole carriage toppled. Nighty smashed into Twilight, turning into a large puddle of black ink, coating Twilight's side.

Twilight screamed as the five stallions harnessed to the carriage bucked mid-air, stuck in the air from the collapse of the carriage.

Suddenly all five exploded into clouds of green dust, making Twilight buck and scream. The green cloud of dust coated her lungs, making it impossible to breathe.

As Twilight heaved and wheezed, a dark shape stood over her, a dagger drawn.

Just before the dagger hit home, Twilight jerked awake, bucking Nighty in the face as she flopped around, screaming.

Nighty recovered from her blow to the face, quickly scooping Twilight in a tight hug, hushing her as she rocked Twi gently.

After another fifteen minutes, Twilight was fast asleep. Nighty looked out the front window at the five stallions, their muscles taut in the moonlight as they galloped hard. They were probably only a few hours away from Ponyville.

Meanwhile, Twilight was back in the realm of dreams.

Twilight was alone, standing on a white, puffy cloud. Her wings were spread as a soft breeze blew over her, ruffling her mane and feathers.

She sighed as she leaped from the cloud, soaring slowly as she circled, a smile plastered to her face. She swooped and flew through a wispy cloud, which dissolved around her body, tickling her.

As Twilight danced about in the air in a tickle fit, other clouds hit her, making her laugh so hard she lost all concentration.

Suddenly she began to plummet as the sky flashed with lightning, dark clouds forming everywhere. Now instead of clouds hitting her, zaps of lightning were smacking into her, making her scream in pain as she was jolted.

Twilight managed a glance below. A giant lake was beneath her. As Twilight flailed in the air, the zaps of lightning increasing speed and painfulness by a wagon load, a giant whirlpool formed in the lake, waiting to swallow her up.

A second before Twilight hit the lake's surface, she jolted awake, as if hit by another lightning bolt. She jerked her way out the front window, rolling onto the dirt path as she spasmed around, screaming frantically.

Nighty stopped the carriage, swooping out of their ride to pick up the shaking Twilight. She wrapped Twi in her wings before setting her on her back. They then got back into the carriage. As they continued on, the sun peeked above the horizion. After another minute, they crossed a tall hill, and Ponyville was seen, shining in the early morning light.

"I'm coming home," Twilight said, her eyes wide open as she waited to be in the streets she loved so much, to see the ponies she had missed so much. And all with Nighty. With Nighty. Forever.
